Description

1956 The Ring Magazine Progress Award Presented to Eddie
Machen. His name might be known only to more experienced boxing
historians, but you'll surely recognize those of some of his
opponents: Joe Frazier, Ernie Terrell, Floyd Patterson, Sonny
Liston and Ingemar Johansson among them. Though he'd fall to these
Heavyweight titans, he'd have his hand raised in all eight bouts
contested in 1956, earning him this attractive medallion from the
sport's most celebrated periodical. It recognizes Machen "For
Greatest Advancement in Boxing for 1956." A little over five inches
(5") in height, the impressive keepsake remains in its original
presentation case (broken at the hinge), and exhibits only light
oxidation to document its decades of existence.
